Re: Unable to delete cookie

Interestingly, delete_cookie didn't add any headers at all when I added a domain - so that didn't work!

Did you try to remove the last subdomain and call again delete_cookie? Just curious.

I fixed this by using set_cookie() with a manually entered expiry date, rather than delete_cookie(). Additionally, if I set the domain in Django, it prefixed a period which meant that it didn't match the existing cookie. I didn't enter a domain and it used the default, which worked.

Hi,

I'm using a custom authentication backend for my Django project, and in order to log out I have to delete a cookie that's set by the (external) authentication site.
Here is my view code:

response = django_logout(request,
                         next_page=post_logout_url)
response.delete_cookie('cookie_name',
                        domain="cookie_domain")
return response

The Set-Cookie header of the view is fine:
cookie_name=; Domain=cookie_domain; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:00 GMT; Max-Age=0; Path=/

But the cookie isn't changed at all - it has the same value and expiry date ("end of session") as before logging out.

Does anyone have any ideas about why this is happening?
